THE STIFFMEISTER 16,188 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 The most dangerous part of parachuting is the person themselves..I am a qualified skydiver and military parachutist, not a great deal to worry about mate..Just believe in your drills, in your instructor, and in your self..I will try a nd stick some photos up when i get a chance...Just dont do anything stupid!!

donk 12 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'd do it nee botha,why? Cos im a fruit loop Seriously though,my old fella was a para and he reckoned its a fantastic rush,dunno what height he jumped from but my sister has some photos of when he was jumping,looks awesome. Anyway lifes not about being all warm safe and cosy all the time,sometimes you need to be scared sh#tless,take afew risks and collect a few scars,otherwise youve got nothing to talk to the grandbairns about hehehe Yeah i'd do it mate,in fact im going to look into it see how much it costs,im 45 but i reckon it would be fantastic to try it.

para1 11 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 one of my freinds is into parachuting and wants me to go with him, it looks a bit risky you have to do a few training sessions first just wondering if anyone knows anything about it and how dangerous is it?? Give it a go mate you'l love it I did 16 years military alot different to what you will do. My son did it (ithink just to be one up on his dad) this is him first freefall,Not attached to the aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
droid 11 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Parachuting is bloody excellent mate. Only did a couple of jumps - not tandem, but static line - and the adrenaline rush beats solo rock climbing or caving. Mackem, cave diving has got a lot safer than it was in the '70s when there was allegedly a 1 in 10 chance that any one cave diver would be dear within a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baronvontreffyes 2 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 sounds great my only worry is the older you get the more it hurts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
